Software eng. Also love: mathematics, being outside, appreciating the little things. For fellow learning nerds: @curriculum_app + @lofimathcompsci

[Louise Swift @lswift01]

The more I think about the human ability to find whatever we go looking for, the more it seems like real magic

[Louise Swift @lswift01]

@yodanparry Yes - you can track an insight if/whenever one occurs ⚡

Keeping things simple while this feature/idea is experimental, but perhaps could permit adding notes to a study session 🤔

[Louise Swift @lswift01]

This new feature is already making me think disconcerting new thoughts about how well I'm using my precious weekend study hours

[Curriculum @curriculum_app]

New experimental feature:

⚡️ Track and view the insights you're gaining from learning resources, alongside the time you're spending studying them.

[Louise Swift @lswift01]

It's rough but the trial of Optimising For Insights may now begin

[Louise Swift @lswift01]

I track my study time carefully but keep falling into the "more time is better" trap (risking burnout/wasted time).

Would something like "insights per hour" be more important...? 🤔

Will add a feature for this to @curriculum_app and see if it helps

[Louise Swift @lswift01]

There's a physical feeling that accompanies any significant context switch, I swear. Such an effort.

[Louise Swift @lswift01]

@schlagetown @nayafia This is kind of the idea behind @lofimathcompsci - but it's a long path ahead & my undergraduate may be done by then! Fun project tho 🥳

[Louise Swift @lswift01]

Discovered via https://t.co/V9KdCUgUNV because random reddit posts get me through some of the toughest stuff honestly

[Louise Swift @lswift01]

Huh. Feeling your feelings only takes 4-7 seconds? Seems subjectively longer for sure

[Louise Swift @lswift01]

@alxmgl Yes, unless -

[Louise Swift @lswift01]

Can a morning person learn ANYTHING after 1pm? I feel like no

[Louise Swift @lswift01]

The range of emotions felt during a simple block of study time, honestly

[Louise Swift @lswift01]

@floroz87 Hmm linkedin is useless chaos imo. Here is chaotic also but because people say too much instead of too little, which includes a ton of useful stuff about companies/jobs/etc (if hunted & gathered efficiently 🕵️)

[Louise Swift @lswift01]

Agree - even if you're as bad at posting as me you can still:

1. use searches to find jobs/employers/inspirational peeps
2. curate your feed (culling/muting as required*) so a quick scan once or twice a week yields good info

* maybe use lists to help fight the algo

[Ankit @ankitkr0]

Being good at Twitter gives you an unfair advantage in the early stages of your career.

[Louise Swift @lswift01]

Most importantly, I find memes and reaction gifs to share with my fortunate friends

[Louise Swift @lswift01]

I have found good companies & jobs & a great recruiter by keeping an eye on this weird little social media platform over the years

[Louise Swift @lswift01]

I only work a 4-day week and it still takes me til Sunday to remember who I am

[Louise Swift @lswift01]

@jpearlstein @brandontoner Part-time degree + 4-day work week
